Those clients are an exception, [b]the ratio of clients paying that much on Upwork is extremely rare compared to LinkedIn, [/b]it's why most freelancers do both, if anyone makes 21k on Upwork from one client then kudos to him/her

Djreloaded:
FALSE AGAIN.
The MongoDb project I handled for that client paid me that much, and it lasted for just three weeks.
Clients are willing to cough out that much if they see you’re the absolute best, and without you, their project dies.

Most freelancers are desperate, and will take pittances thrown at them.

Indians and Pakistanis the usual suspects.

Yes for entry-level people Upworks is good, but if you have experience LinkedIn is better, No Upwork gig is paying you 5000$ monthly.

qtguru:


Hmmm ok, I can see some high rates but not in my field, but just 2 above 5k$ , I guess there's more to be done. Thanks

That changes my view on high rate on Upwork

Actually there are gigs that pays that much ( even more), jobs like that are not just much. My last upwork gig was $40/hr with 30hrs weekly limit ( but i was never able to work for 30hrs because i had 2 other full time jobs ). My problem with upwork is that you have to work to get paid unlike a full time job where you can go days without working ( because there is no work), even take paid leave and at the end of the month, you get your full salary. It’s because of these reasons I haven’t used upwork in months and mainly focused on my full time job which i got on linkendin (with relocation).

Codedboy95:


In getting jobs with better pay, I agree with you that LinkedIn is better. Most clients on Upwork lowball freelancers because they know they can always get someone else to do the job for less, Only the "JJC" and enterprise clients pay freelancers really well. But IMO compared to Linkedin, Upwork still remains the best place for entry-levels to get a job, If they research and spend quality time experimenting with different proposals, bio, and portfolio formats.

data entry? Good luck jotting it out with the sea waves of Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.

I consider that job the lowest of the lows when it comes to remote jobs.

DonPablo9511:

Godswilleee:
Pls I am going to beg d house, we all know this is 2023, pls if anyone knows any good legite online business that one can earn 3 - 5$ per day, they should kindly help me with it.. I just want to earn no matter how little to take care of my every day needs, pls I am begging d bouse

Ayomipoe:
Note, I don't know.

There is this problem I run into when trying to advise people. How to earn legitimately and be self-sufficient, despite the fact that everything seems to be against them personally currently.

Providing services online usually involves having some degree of skill and a market to sell those skills. Marketplaces to sell those skills are already saturated and to those that have more (in this case experience), more will be given. The factors you can control are probably the time you invest into upskilling and becoming a jack of several trades. However, this usually involves time-consuming unrewarded labour that may or may not pay off.

How do you tell someone that they need to pick up coding when regular data is a problem and they don't even have a PC of their own? I have run into this conundrum many times this year.

NB. I am sure there are several skills that are not related to code. I have a narrow vision because of my experience, so forgive me.

qtguru:


Same here, I have a full-time remote job, but I hired an intern, he does the Ui I just focus on the code, but I want the intern to become his own freelancer and full-time dev in the future.

Nostradamus1:
Got 2 jobs less than 12 days after joining Upwork. Although one of the jobs had more than 3 freelancers. I am very specific and greedy with jobs I apply to. I sometimes apply to only 1 job or 2 a day.[b] Pick 4 hours daily to check all newly posted works by verified accounts. [/b]Avoid jobs of over 4 connects until you build your profile.

Your proposal should outline "how you can produce a beneficial, practical and cost-effective work to the client.". I have never used a particular proposal sheet and write them as they suit me and the client.


Be always prepared. Turn on your availability badge and have data to check for responses to proposal often( I have lost 2 jobs to this)

Godswilleee:
Is upwork now a scam, or just hard for newbies to get job, I started upwork December last year, up still now I have not been able to get any job there. Almost exhausted my connect in writing world catching proposal but nobody has invite me for interview nor to talk of hired

ArticleBeast:

What makes you think your proposals are world catching? Do you have a niche? Do you have samples or a portfolio?

Godswilleee:
go sleep

Ayomipoe:
I have not tired Wise to grey. However I can testify to the speed of Wise to GeegPay. Is there a reason why you prefer Grey?
